• Discuss the business aspects of retrospectives, both from an internal perspective and an outside-the-company perspective.
• Chart a future for retrospectives as retrospectives become common practice.

Topics discussed:

• The actual Schedule now contains links to session outputs
• Prior to the gathering we had a Topic Incubator to discuss possible topics for the Open Space

Misc.:

• A LinkedIn group for Retrospectives was created
  • To join, search for “Retrospectives” and click through to the profile of a person who belongs to that group, then click the group logo (a rear-view mirror at present)
    • If someone has successfully done this, please give more detailed tips. I'm not able to find the group… ~Ilja
      • The group organiser needs to get the invite link from the groups settings page
